To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BALDWIN II. KANNENBERG, a citizen ofthe United States, residing in Oak Park, in the county of Cook and State'of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Jacket-Cans, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to jacket cans for handling and shipment of petroleum and other articles.

My invention consists in the novel construction of parts and devices and in the novel combinations of parts and devices herein shown and described and more particularly specified in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation of a jacket can embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section. Fig. 3 is a cross or horizontal section, and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on line 4-4 of Fig. l..

In the drawing A represents the body of a sheet metal can, B the top head'and C the bottom head.

D is the pouring nozzle, E the bail and F the bail ears.

G is the can body jacket, the same being preferably of sheet iron or steel. I-I a filling rim of wood interposed between the can body and the can body jacket at the upper end of the can, and K the jacket bottom of wood veneer or other suitable material to protect the bottom head C of the can.

The sheet metal body A has the customary side seam a, and it is secured by soldered joints or seams a a2 to the top and bottom heads B, C of the can. The upper or top head B has a dome-shaped central portion b furnished with a series of radially extending tapering and convexly curved flutes b1, extending from the countersunk annular base b2 of the top B to the raised central boss b3 thereof. The raised central boss b3 is furnished with a pouring opening b? surrounded by an upturned flange b5 to which the pouring nozzle D is soldered or secured. The dome-shaped radially iluted top or upper head B is provided with an annular flange or shoulder b( which fits within the upper end of the body A and to which said body is soldered, and also with an outwardly projecting annular flange 127 furnished with a downwardly projecting seaming flange bS which is folded into a seam g with the upper end of the sheet metal can body jacket G. The supplemental or filler rim H of wood or other like material fits at its upper end or edge against the outwardly projecting annular fl nge b7 of the top head B of the can and between the can body A and the jacket body G.

The bottom head C is provided with an annular cylindric flange 'or shoulder C1 which fits within the end of the can body is securely soldered. The bottom head C is also provided witha horizontally extending flange or annular rim C2 Whichis folded over' the pe# ripheral edge of the jacket bottom K, thus securely uniting the jacket bottom to the bottom head of the can and through it to the can body. The lower end of the sheet metal jacket body G is provided with an inwardly projecting annular fiange or rim gl which overlaps the bottom head flange or rim C2, thus causing the sheet metal jacket body to securely embrace the jacket bottom K and bottom head C ofthe can. The bottom head C of the can is also preferably provided with annular beads C3. The sheet metal jacket body G is also preferably provided with circular' raised stiffening ribs or beads g'i, and preferably with smaller ones y3 intervening between the larger ones.

The bail cars F are secured to the radially flnted' I claim:
